Changes

The following are the major changes I made compared to the upstream.

Hexo site

• Update .gitlab-ci.yml to use the latest version of Node.js in Alpine docker image.
• Update package.json to use latest version of hexo and its related packages.
• Replace the bundled Landscape theme with Typing theme.
• Pre-compressed the assets using hexo-yam.

Typing theme

• Homepage shows index of posts.
• Remove header and footer display (except for /about page).
• Use the latest version of jQuery, fancyBox, Fork Awesome and clipboard.js.
• Remove web analytics, comment systems and donation links.
• Use more relative length, instead of absolute length in the css.
